Thanks for this write-up! I will be looking to do this soon once my F80 arrives.

Does anyone know if my E90 OEM rack will fit an F80?

Unlikely, angles of the feel are different in every model. Plus I think roof is a bit wider(not sure on this)

Yes. The E90 OEM rack will indeed fit on the F80 roof. You will have to extend the front one by a centimeter or so. Luckily the E90 rack can adjust the width. In fact, one of the first guys to do this mod used an E90 rack on his M4 before switching to the F80 rack.

Thread here.

Picture of E90 rack on an F30 (same mounting points as F80).

The problem with sea suckers is that you can only get one thing, with bmw bars you can get anything and multiple things at the same time.

Last summer I had a bike, kayak and roof box st the same time. All easy to put on and take off as well as way cheaper than sucker attachments
